Window type vs split type AC: ano mas matipid sa kuryente?

[jezreel]

Mas mura sa kuryenete ang window type kase isa lang ang motor nya that delivers the cold air to the room and discharging the heat from the condenser. Unlike the split type may sariling motor for the ACCU (AIr cooled Condensing Unit) and a separate motor for the indoor blower (Evaporator).

i think mas matipid sa kuryente ang window type kesa split type. yung split type kasi, 2 ang pinapaandar ng kuryente dahil hiwalay ang condenser niya. pero sa cooling efficiency, i think mas cooler ang split type and tahimik pa. di ka na rin kelangan magbutas sa wall ng malaki. yung daanan para sa tubings lang ang bubutasan.

inverter is cost effective but expensive initial investment. best choice, if you have the money

i agree inverter type or the dc as the tv ads said , in long run and total expense the dc is the wise move

Sadly, hindi kasya ang window type sa wall na paglalagyan ko. Malapad kasi yung nasakot ng window. Ayoko naman sa window mismo ilagay yung AC.

Ang choice ko nalang now is split type AC na inverter or non-inverter. Kung average of 2hrs/day lang ang gamit ng AC, alin ang dapat kong bilhin?

Another thing to consider is the refrigerant R-22 will soon be phased out according to the Montreal Protocol.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Protocol

The phasing-out of the less active HCFCs started only in 1996 and will go on until a complete phasing-out is achieved in 2030.

Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) Phase-out Management Plan (HPMP)

Under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, especially Executive Committee (ExCom) 53/37 and ExCom 54/39, Parties to this Protocol agreed to set year 2013 as the time to freeze the consumption and production of HCFCs. They also agreed to start reducing its consumption and production in 2015. The time of freezing and reducing HCFCs is then known as 2013/2015.
